The Idea for this week is a card game where players are rulers
of the world and they need to build legacy cards to be remembered by.

Platform:

Cards

Genre:

Strategy

Why it needs to be made:

Some card games can be very complex to learn and take a long
period of time per game. This game has a fixed number of rounds and a simple mechanic
that means it can be played in shorter period of time than
some card and board games.

Description:

The aim of the game is to build your Legacy using
monuments, parades and banks. Players continue to build their Legacies until someone
has built 5. More points are awarded if the built Legacies are all of the same type.

There are two card packs that operate together. One card pack
contains the Legacies the player can build, the other pack contains
the resources needed to build Legacies. Each Legacy is built using three
resources (resources are: gold, bricks and subjects/people).
The Legacies are monuments, parades and banks. Players can
also use three resources to destroy someone's Legacy according to the
following rules: a billboard destroys a monument; a riot destroys a parade;
a thief destroys a bank. There are three special card types in the Legacy
pack which can be used for free: swap (swap a built Legacy for someone else's built Legacy), protect
(protects your cards from destruction) and destroy (destroys a protect card OR
up to two Legacies).

Why it will be a compelling game:

This game allows people to pretend that they can have banks,
parades and monuments in their honour, as well as letting people
destroy other people's legacies.
The core rules of the game can be learnt relatively quickly, but then
to master the game players need
to determine the best strategy for the people they are playing with.
Playing with different players, or
remembering how other players destroyed your buildings will result in
a compelling social interaction.

Other thoughts:

This game has been fully implemented and playtesting has begun.
